Which of the following is not a transverse wave?

A Light waves
B Radio waves
C Sound waves
D All the above

Correct Answer: Sound waves

Light and Radio waves are both different frequency/wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, which consists of two components electric and magnetic of perpendicular, transverse waves.    Sound, on the other hand, is a longitudinal wave which oscillates parallel to it's medium (back and forth instead of up and down).
